Abstract

In Tasmania, the lower (Permo-Carboniferous) rocks ofthe Parmeener Supergroup are almost everywhere subhorizontal,and rest with pronounced landscape unconformity on a foldedbasement sequence, which is variously composed of Precambrianand early Palaeozoic strata. In order to appreciate the latePalaeozoic history of the Central Plateau district, it isnecessary to understand the nature of this unconformity.
